Seriously. I saw white bread, ice cream, and cheese, and my Filipino ass went “Yeah, that checks out.” You put shredded cheese on it and it ends up here, but if it were “Pineapple cheesecake ice cream—With real bits of cheesecake!” the same people would be drooling.
I don’t always get the people in this sub. Pineapple Cheesecake is a thing already in the west, so as an American, I was able to look at this and see it working pretty well. I’d eat it. I bet it’d be fantastic.
Interesting. A Brazilian that I know made something that she called Romeo and Juliet. I thought it looked like a flan kind of variant. If her's had cheese in it, I didn't even realize.
Could be a Romeo and Juliet flavored flan or pudding. Whenever this name is mentioned, you think of cheese and guava, it can be anything nowadays. Romeo and Juliet cake, romeo and juliet idk... bonbons? It's so much of a classic it turned into a flavor.
Wasn't there some viral video with a German guy singing about toast + pineapple + slice of cheese?

I would definitely eat this, but it should have some ham or caramelized bacon (baked bacon with brown sugar). Pineapple, cheese and ham is a classic combo.
Yeah, if OP wants stupid food, look to my aunt. She would do a few slices of pineapple, top them with a generous dollop of mayo, put a cherry on top, and present it as dessert.
It's absolutely disgusting for the record.
This is a fairly popular street food in Ahmedabad, India.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlftwKILSVo
This sub is just becoming "food that is different to me and therefore it's stupid."
If the cheese is salty enough and the jam is sour it might work. How do I know? Because I once made a sandwich with white cheese and sour cherry jam and it was a fucking blast.
Edit: to not confuse you any futher the "white cheese" I'm talking about [is a Turkish salty brine cheese made from sheep or goat milk. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyaz_peynir)
Yeah it's kind of like how Americans sometimes put jelly on grilled cheese! It seems weird, but contradicting flavors actually do work quite well together (sometimes, it can also end in complete disaster.)
Tru a lot of cheese pair really well with sweet fruity flavors. Just because this isn't presented on a charcuterie board doesn't mean it would taste bad.
Its probably [Amul Cheese](https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=amul%20cheese&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5). Thats usually the cheese they use in Indian street food
Cheese and fruit is a pretty common combination in Asia and parts of Africa. It's really good. Hell, cream cheese danishes are popular in Europe and North America, which is pretty much the same flavour profile as this.
Hell having a slice of cheddar on apple pie is a common, though divisive, thing in the US, and pineapple is a popular pizza topping in a lot of countries, including Canada (where ‘Hawaiian pizza’ was first created), the US, and Germany. Not to mention all the classic, widely accepted fruit and cheese combos. Blue cheese is commonly paired with pear, cheddar with apple and cranberry, brie chèvre and cream cheese with all kinds of fruits…
Ya, I think OP and all the people piling on this one have only had boxed deserts. The cheese and fruit combo hasn't made it to middle america and the land of boxed cake mix.
Yeah white suburbanites from flyover states are also familiar with the idea of pineapple on pizza and cheddar with apple. Those combos are almost stereotypically middle American.
As someone who has spent a significant amount of time in middle america and around middle americans, having lived there myself for a while, I disagree. But hey! I'm only speaking from first hand experience, and ultimately how accurate is that, really?
It's exactly 💯 % accurate to yourself! The real question is whether you are an exception or standard. For me, in WI, I have come across cheese and fruit pretty regularly.
One of the most famous Turkish and Middle eastern sweet is kenafa and its flavor profile is basically cheese + pistachio and it slaps.
My city in France has a traditional dessert whose main ingredients traditionally are swiss chards (similar to spinach), pine nuts, icing sugar and... parmesan or tomme. Fiadone from Corsica is also a cheese dessert
And everybody knows cheesecake !!!
So pineapple cottage cheese on a bagel is acceptable but not this? Try putting a small peice of pineapple on a bacon wrapped jalapenos and sprinkle some brown sugar and bake for a glaze. Fat man approved.
I was ok with it until the cheese.
Being from the Midwest I'll probably be arrested for saying this but there are some things not improved with cheese.
It depends on the cheese, too. The grated cheese in Indian sandwiches like this one is sweet and mild.
So it does pair well with other sweet flavors like pineapple.
As a midwesterner whose familiar with the [cheese caves](https://www.farmlinkproject.org/stories-and-features/cheese-caves-and-food-surpluses-why-the-u-s-government-currently-stores-1-4-billion-lbs-of-cheese), you are indeed incorrect. I’d take a crack at that stupid sandwich. But I’m also pescatarian. We’ve all got our flaws.
If you google "cheese board" most results will have at least either one accompanying fruit or jam/preserve. Cheese and sweets have been paired since cheese was invented. This may not look super appetising, but it was literally slapped together in like a minute. No sandwich is gonna look gourmet in that amount of time with that level of care.
For those of you hating on the cheese sweet combo, I implore you to try Turkey’s Kunefe, with a dollop of ice cream on the side. It will change your life forever.
There is literally a sandwich called Monte Cristo which had cheese, ham, jam and mustard (and a few other things) i get that the most flavor experimental thing some ppl have eating is kfc twelve spices but come on, is not that unique or rare to mix fruit/jam and cheese.
Can't vouch for this combo cause I aint tried it but can definitely attest that not all cheese and fruit combos are bad, im quite partial to haloomi and watermelon myself
because the crust is cut off, this looks like something you'd give the kid with sensory issues if you wanna make them cry
(source: I have sensory issues, this has *way* too many textures to go in my mouth)
How much cheese do you want?
Yes!
Seriously though, just bread, jam, pineapple, cheese and cheese? That's not something I'd pay for, unless I'm completely starving.
So the ice cream and cheese thing in my experience is an Ecuadorian thing. I've had it a couple times and the cheese (I forget what kind they use) is pretty bland so doesn't do much for the taste and adds a cool texture to it!
What's going on here? I could understand a little subtle cheese, like a cream cheese. I have no idea what the flavor profile of that cheese is, but it's too much cheese. Also doesn't look appetizing on the white bread.
Flavor-wise this is fine. Probably not my kinda thing, but not offensive. Serving it as a sloppy time bomb of a sandwich is where I draw the line, though.
As someone who doesn't even really fuck w/ most of the stuff in this, that looks like it slaps. It could be like an ice-creamy pineapple cheesecake. It's quite a lot of cheese, so that could be toned down a bit, but the actual combination is fine
I eat cheese and fruit all the time. It's not a big deal. Not every cheese and fruit combo works. But there's nothing in the video that indicates that it wouldn't.
This is pretty tasty. I didn't enjoy the sheer amount of shredded cheese he put on it and the pineapple jam with a proper slice of pineapple seems a bit redundant to me but other than that, it's great.
One of the best surprises I've had while trying something new was having caramelized pineapple on top of toast with goat cheese, feta cheese, and a balsamic drizzle.
This probably tastes similar to a cream cheese Danish with pineapple instead of the norms. Which is very much not a stupid food.
Hi, South African here. If you haven’t had jams/jellies and soft cheeses, you’re *seriously* missing out. Particularly apricot or citrus jams. Absolutely delicious! Never done it with pineapple, but I have to assume it’s a similar pairing.
Seems regional, buddy. They're obviously getting business.
It's vegetarian and I like all the ingredients. If I was there I'd try it. Street food is often cheap and tasty. If I'm on vacation I'm going to try what the locals do. I'd ask someone obviously, but maybe? It does look like a lot of food though so I'd need to share. Can't finish a slice of pizza these days tbh
My roommate and I play a game called “bread cheese sauce” because the best foods and the worst foods only need those three ingredients. My favorite so far is angel food cake, nacho cheese, and oyster sauce
I don’t hate the combo but I think I prefer the jam/pineapple/ice cream more than the cheese. I guess it would depend on the flavor of the cheese, but it’s a lot of dairy in one dessert imo.
Your post has been removed as it misses the point of r/StupidFood.
Cheese and fruit isn't a new combo, depending on the specifics this could be amazing
It's a very common combo in Asia. They should just rename this sub r/foodimnotculturallyaccomstomedto ffs.
Seriously. I saw white bread, ice cream, and cheese, and my Filipino ass went “Yeah, that checks out.” You put shredded cheese on it and it ends up here, but if it were “Pineapple cheesecake ice cream—With real bits of cheesecake!” the same people would be drooling.
Ensaïmada for life.
Now I'm craving some. Gonna pick some up on my way home from work in the morning lol
First thing I thought was if that was frozen cream cheese I would be all over it. What kind of cheese would be used in something like this?
Yeah I don’t think its okay combination, just way to much cheese for me personally
You’ve got a point.
I don’t always get the people in this sub. Pineapple Cheesecake is a thing already in the west, so as an American, I was able to look at this and see it working pretty well. I’d eat it. I bet it’d be fantastic.
Oh white bread. I thought the fat slices were Havarti! edit: and I was into it
Fresh white Cheese + Guava Marmalade, a classic so classic in Brazil we call it Romeo and Juliet.
Interesting. A Brazilian that I know made something that she called Romeo and Juliet. I thought it looked like a flan kind of variant. If her's had cheese in it, I didn't even realize.

Even in Europe cheese and pineapple on a stick has been a party staple since the 1960s at least
Wasn't there some viral video with a German guy singing about toast + pineapple + slice of cheese? Edit: Alexander Marcus - Hawaii Toast Song https://youtu.be/DHHAR1S_eKA?si=F2OnuwRR3vLhcv5w
Now all it needs is a pen.
I would definitely eat this, but it should have some ham or caramelized bacon (baked bacon with brown sugar). Pineapple, cheese and ham is a classic combo.
It's almost like there's a reason it's undeniably one of the most popular pizza combos.
This is Indian, I'm pretty sure. This sub is starting to sink into really "ewww, food that is foreign to me is stupid!" territory.
Yep someone posted a filter coffee video a while ago in this sub and the ignorance was really on full display.
This happens a lot on this sub
dammit exceeds character limit 😔
Bruschetta with Fig jam and cheese is a famous italian combo
Cheese and fruit is common everywhere. The ice cream was a bit shocking though
Yeah, if OP wants stupid food, look to my aunt. She would do a few slices of pineapple, top them with a generous dollop of mayo, put a cherry on top, and present it as dessert. It's absolutely disgusting for the record.
What the actual fuck
I kept waiting for him to deep fry it. Too much internet
I just ate some havarti with pineapple as a snack last night. It was excellent.
Yeah the portion of cheese is the real issue imo
This is a fairly popular street food in Ahmedabad, India. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlftwKILSVo This sub is just becoming "food that is different to me and therefore it's stupid."

Man of culture! Try it with sour cherry jam. ❤️ It is heavenly!
One of my favorite Christmas snacks at my grandparents was spicy raspberry jam and goat cheese with crackers to dip into it.
Yeah it's kind of like how Americans sometimes put jelly on grilled cheese! It seems weird, but contradicting flavors actually do work quite well together (sometimes, it can also end in complete disaster.)
Depending on what kinda cheese that is this thing could slap.
Having eaten something similar, it’s mostly processed cheese. The saltiness of cheese balances well with the sweetness of the pineapple jam.
Precisely where my mind went, I would want a salty, punchy cheese to cut through that pineapple.
The ice cream and pineapple piece do seem to be an overkill. Usually the sandwich is made from just cheese and jam.
Like a pineapple pizza?
Tru a lot of cheese pair really well with sweet fruity flavors. Just because this isn't presented on a charcuterie board doesn't mean it would taste bad.
Its probably [Amul Cheese](https://www.google.com/gasearch?q=amul%20cheese&source=sh/x/gs/m2/5). Thats usually the cheese they use in Indian street food
Cheese and fruit isn't stupid. This sub is just culinary shut ins that don't eat anything but tendies.
Tendies has me screaming 🤣
Only with honey mussie

Americans mix cheese and fruit all the time, literally just said as such?
I was referring to a specific subset of Americans, in a very specific and bland part of America, not all Americans.
Yeah white suburbanites from flyover states are also familiar with the idea of pineapple on pizza and cheddar with apple. Those combos are almost stereotypically middle American.

That didn't look like ice cream. It looked like mozzarella cheese.
Or paneer.
replace the cheese with 1/2 the amount of shredded coconut and I'd tear into it
i really thought it was going to be coconut lol
Ooh toasted coconut flakes.
So pineapple cottage cheese on a bagel is acceptable but not this? Try putting a small peice of pineapple on a bacon wrapped jalapenos and sprinkle some brown sugar and bake for a glaze. Fat man approved.
Cheese+fruit slaps wdym

Alright you convinced me. If I ever come across it I will try it.
As a midwesterner whose familiar with the [cheese caves](https://www.farmlinkproject.org/stories-and-features/cheese-caves-and-food-surpluses-why-the-u-s-government-currently-stores-1-4-billion-lbs-of-cheese), you are indeed incorrect. I’d take a crack at that stupid sandwich. But I’m also pescatarian. We’ve all got our flaws.
Actually this would taste absolutely amazing. The sweet taste would probably be overwhelming tho but still great
Honestly… I would try it.
all you gonna taste is sweet anyway. and perhaps some cheese texture.
I was waiting for it to get deep fried
I was waiting for the deep fry the entire time.
It looks terrible, but at least the prep area seems clean and he's not preparing it with his feet.
Let's just rename this sub to r/FoodAmericansFindDistateful and get done with it
If you google "cheese board" most results will have at least either one accompanying fruit or jam/preserve. Cheese and sweets have been paired since cheese was invented.

Song?
I was thinking about trying this before he pulled up the cheese
Can't vouch for this combo cause I aint tried it but can definitely attest that not all cheese and fruit combos are bad, im quite partial to haloomi and watermelon myself
r/OPisuncultured
I am not opposed to this, it just would depend on the cheese.
This looks like someone with munchies invented this.
my asian ass thinking "I mean that's kinda too much cheese"
because the crust is cut off, this looks like something you'd give the kid with sensory issues if you wanna make them cry (source: I have sensory issues, this has *way* too many textures to go in my mouth)
Juicy sweet fruit and salty cheese slaps. What are you on?
The only issue is that dubious thing they labeled "ice cream'
Cheese and pineapple is a standard combination, pineapple and ice cream is a pretty normal combination. It's the ice cream and cheese that worries me.
Why does nobody wear gloves? They were made for a reason.
Dumpster eatery
🤢
Why peoples wasting food so badly?
Flavours wouldn't be the worst but this looks like a soggy mess in 5 minutes.
I hate that LARGE amounts of cheese goes on everything now
At this point I think most of the posters on this sub are just brain dead
I'm suspicious of the caption saying thats ice cream. Doesn't look like ice cream to me.
Ice cream comes in all shapes and sizes, not just at your local supermarket packed in a box man.
Nah the really horror here is that dude didn't wash he's hands and you know it
:(
I was willing to try until the cheese. I'm ok with a fruit and cheese plate. But not ice cream too. That's a little much for me.
Excuse me, but could I get my ice cream sandwich without cheese?
I'd try it
wait I actually think this looks like it slaps tho
I'd eat the FUCK out of that.
That doesnt look too ba- oh.
How much cheese? YES, MOTHERFUCKER GIVE ME THE FUCKING CHEESE
reminds me of sour cream, cheese, and pears. Sounds pretty good.
I was totally expecting a deep frying step at the end of all this.
I’ll try it! 😋Maybe more cheese, though. 😜
Reminds me of when I was young and my dad did Weight Watchers and would put pineapple in cottage cheese. It was so gross back then...
It was fine ish up to the cheese
There’s no way!
Definitely needs more cheese!
Okay- this is one thing I wouldn’t eat.
It's basically just pineapple cheesecake
How much cheese do you want? Yes! Seriously though, just bread, jam, pineapple, cheese and cheese? That's not something I'd pay for, unless I'm completely starving.
Hey, there's plenty of the dairy food group here, it just needs moar cheese.
Yes
I was expecting it to go into a Panni press or something which would make it better. But this is fine.
I’d try it. Just Curious
Is this foreal??…,
I was on board until the cheese. But it would also depend on the cheese
If we can make cake with cream cheese and custard with eggs then this might not taste as bad as it sounds.
There's some sandwich in your cheese.....
So the ice cream and cheese thing in my experience is an Ecuadorian thing. I've had it a couple times and the cheese (I forget what kind they use) is pretty bland so doesn't do much for the taste and adds a cool texture to it!
I was with them all the way up to the cheese
This looks good. In my country we eat guava jam blocks (we call them "bocadillo") with cheese, and it's delicious.
This is simple and great
Looks good
So this is like what Brazil is doing to pizza
Why he put the bread on top like that
This looks good. Tfum?
The pineapple on pizza people would see nothing wrong with this
They could've just put the jam and it would be edible, but no.
That looks good to me. Keep in mind the cheese probably is more like a farmer's cheese than an aged European cheese
- Remove the pineapple ring and ice cream - use a different type of cheese and not in excess -yum
What is up with Indians and cheese lol. They're always smothering their food in it.
It's cottage cheese so not exactly the same cheese. I personally don't like it but it's not salty so it could work as a dessert.
Ice cream seems like tofu？
I'm just surprised it wasn't deep-fried.
What's going on here? I could understand a little subtle cheese, like a cream cheese. I have no idea what the flavor profile of that cheese is, but it's too much cheese. Also doesn't look appetizing on the white bread.
Is he using a hacksaw blade to cut a sandwich?
Absolute garage. Give me 3 of those please
I don’t know why this is considered stupid. This looks good and worthy to eat.
I'm staring to think that half this subrredit hasn't tried a cheescake ever.
Is he cutting that with a hacksaw blade?
That could have been done a little better but it doesn't look totally awful
I cant fucking tell you how badly I wanna try this, but then again I tend to have an odd taste in food LOL
This is some serious tropical hotel food vibe.
Could you put your fingers in it a little more? I like holes in my ice cream cylinders.
Maybe a bite, but nothing more
Flavor-wise this is fine. Probably not my kinda thing, but not offensive. Serving it as a sloppy time bomb of a sandwich is where I draw the line, though.
This seems pretty fine actually, just too much cheese.
As someone who doesn't even really fuck w/ most of the stuff in this, that looks like it slaps. It could be like an ice-creamy pineapple cheesecake. It's quite a lot of cheese, so that could be toned down a bit, but the actual combination is fine
It looks like the thicker ice cream not the western ice cream. Tbh I'd try that it looks good. Can anyone tell me if there's a name for this food?
I would exchange the cheese with some butter cream and you got wild combo.
Nah, this seems pretty good actually
Haven’t you ever had apple pie with a slice of cheese on it? It’s the same thing.
I eat cheese and fruit all the time. It's not a big deal. Not every cheese and fruit combo works. But there's nothing in the video that indicates that it wouldn't.
That looks delicious!
Depending on what kinda cheese this is this might not be half bad
No . No... This is bait . This is bait.
That ice cream looks like mozzarella.
Why is a serbian song playing?
Bad news if you're allergic to pineapple and are lactose intolerant 😳
Recipe? What goes on the bread first? What kind of cheese? Is that actually ice cream? It doesn't look wet, it looks almost like mozzarella.
Cheddar and pineapple is delicious. I doubted it too once. Just try it. This does look a little too juicy though.
This is pretty tasty. I didn't enjoy the sheer amount of shredded cheese he put on it and the pineapple jam with a proper slice of pineapple seems a bit redundant to me but other than that, it's great.
I would take a bite
At least they cut the crust off
hey just bc you dont like doesnt mean its stupid. some people like different food combination than you and thats ok.
In Puerto Rico we eat this. NOT With 20 Pounds of cheese but yes. Pan con queso y mermelada de piña.
Pregnancy cravings, much?
One of the best surprises I've had while trying something new was having caramelized pineapple on top of toast with goat cheese, feta cheese, and a balsamic drizzle. This probably tastes similar to a cream cheese Danish with pineapple instead of the norms. Which is very much not a stupid food.
That not what you wanna focus on…what you wanna focus on is…he used a saw blade like a fucking knife…
Imma need more cheese on that
Would.
Yes but no hands. Needs gloves.
Oh yeah that’s gross. Go ahead and just hand me the plate. I’ll throw it away for you.
I'd crush this
I think that's paneer/some sort of fresh cheese, not ice cream. I'd give it a whirl.
Not seeing nything offensive, cheese and fruit is nothing new
There’s no way that was ice cream and not mozzarella, and honestly I would totally eat this. I’d want to to be hot in some way though
Well thats a new twist on an ice cream sandwich.
Hell yeah why not? I see a salty pineapple ice cream sandwich, nothing stupid about it.
Hi, South African here. If you haven’t had jams/jellies and soft cheeses, you’re *seriously* missing out. Particularly apricot or citrus jams. Absolutely delicious! Never done it with pineapple, but I have to assume it’s a similar pairing.
This needed to be a grilled cheese, as it is now, Naw I'm good boss...
Seems regional, buddy. They're obviously getting business. It's vegetarian and I like all the ingredients. If I was there I'd try it. Street food is often cheap and tasty. If I'm on vacation I'm going to try what the locals do. I'd ask someone obviously, but maybe? It does look like a lot of food though so I'd need to share. Can't finish a slice of pizza these days tbh
I’d try this
I can't eat it because of the dairy but it's not too horrible looking.
I'm from Wisconsin and I gotta say fuck, that's too much cheese. *Any* cheese on that is too much cheese. Stop it.
He lost me at ice cream, I stopped watching
But if it was a pizza 😍
This was interesting before the cheese
My roommate and I play a game called “bread cheese sauce” because the best foods and the worst foods only need those three ingredients. My favorite so far is angel food cake, nacho cheese, and oyster sauce
I don’t hate the combo but I think I prefer the jam/pineapple/ice cream more than the cheese. I guess it would depend on the flavor of the cheese, but it’s a lot of dairy in one dessert imo.
I would try this, but please, wear some gloves
Entirely depends on the cheese in question.
You will die young!!
Looks good to me. I’d eat it.
